HOUSTON (AP) — Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies actually looks up in a way to Jose Altuve, even though the former American League MVP for the Houston Astros is a couple of inches shorter than him.
The 5-foot-8 Albies said so many people had told him he couldn't do the job because he's small, and he points out what the 5-6 Altuve has accomplished.
“The first time I saw him, we said hi to each other. He’s actually a little smaller than me. I thought, if he can do it, why can’t I do it?
